Whether it will precede' inauguration of President-elect Obregon next De? cember 1 was not stated. In revealing that "discussions" have been in progress with Roberto V. Pesqueira, confidential agent of the Mexico City government, how over. Mr. Colby said that these gave "promise of a speedy and happy out? come." The announcement came as a sur? mise. Karller In the day a report circulated in New York that recog? nition was imminent met with empha? tic denial at the stale department. A few hours lab?r. however, Secretary Colby mads public a letter from Mr Pesqueira as the basis for his an? nouncement saying it affprded a foun lation "upon which the prcliminariea to recognition can confidently pro? ceed. "I think I am warranted in saying" Mr. COlby'fl formal announcement laid, "that the Mexican question will ^(on caae to be a question at all ln irmuch :.s it is about to be answered not mly as it concerns the United states but. indeed, the whole world il well " Mr. Pesqueira's letter told of his Minier informal negotiations . with Under Secretary Davis at the state leparlment and said it was "a new Mexico" which, "submitting herself *o the recognized principles of inter? national law" now sought recognition by the United States. Mr. Colby de? scribed the letter as "a very signifi -ant and a very gratifying and reas? suring statement of the .attitude and pu'*pose of the new government of Mexico. Mr. Pesqueira, formerly Mexican financial agent in New York, recent? ly returned from a flying vlsii to Mex 'co when he was appointed confiden? tial agent to succeed Fernando Iglcs ias Calderon. recalled. Mr. Colby's announcement said Mr. Pesqueira "came to Washington bearlhg the fullest powers to speak and act on be? half of Iiis government."

Published re? ports that he was making the trip als i personal representative of the pres dent brought repeated denials from :he state department where it was ?dated he had no official status and that his application for a passport showed the put pose of his Mexican visit to be "business and pleasure."

Prior to Secretary Colby's announce? ment there had been no intimation at th?' state department that early recognition was a possibility.

Disease Free Potatoes ! - Pee Dee Truckers' Association Arranges for Supply of Seed Irish Potatoes for Farmers j Florence," Oct. 31.?The Pee Doe Truckers' association has effected a connection in Maim whereby it will be able to supply farmers In this section with treble inspected and state guaranteed Irish cobbler po? tato seed direct from tho growers at the additional cost only of freight. (\ M. White of Augusta, Maine, agenl in marketing, United States depart? ment of agriculture, is representing the association in the producing field while the association here will rep? resent the farmers who may wish to procure any of the seed. No charge for service will be made at either end, nor will there be any profit be? tween the seller In Maine and the buyer In South Carolina. Potato seed buyers through the as? sociation uro assured honest and straight goods by the state of Maine, if they procure the certified stock. This opportunity is expected to be a great boon to potato planters in this section who desire the best sto' k, but are not able to be per? sonally on the ground and select it. Abo. it will tend to give the Pee Dee section a uniform variety ar d crop in its Irish potato production. Anyone wishing to procure seed, should indicate their interest by writing Walter J. Johnson, secretary of tho Pee Dee Truckers' associa? tion, care of the Chamber , of Com? merce, Florence, S. C, or seeing thein local representative of the as? sociation. Prices , are not available yet, but persons who are interested enough to inquire now, will be noti? fied in.mediately on receipt of this information. They will then have the opportunity of taking what they want or if not coming In on an or? der. If the orders are taken to? gether, the>^ will be lumped and han? dled as a carload purchase and ship? ment! Mr. White has written to Mr. John? son as follows regarding the Maine certified potato seed stock: "Two inspections are made, one at the time of blossoming and one be? fore the vines begin to ripen. The third inspection is made when the potatoes arjn sacked, and no pota? toes are true certified seed unless they bear the blue tag, issued by the Maine department of agriculture, which is enclosed. The held inspec? tors do not merely give a casual looking over of the price of potatoes, but they personally rogue out the disease and weak hilte under the fol? lowing requirements; "If at the first inspection there aro more than 500 weal* or diseased hills, or 80 hills of blackleg, or 250 mixed hills, the field will be disqualified. On the second inspection more than 250 weak hills, 80 mixed hills, and 1U blackleg hills will disqualify. "That this system of Inspection has proven highly successful is demon? strated by the rest the past season by Prof. M. O. Pence of Delaware, in which Maine certified Irish cobblers yielded at the rate of 522 bushels per acre, as against the best seed from'other sources which yielded at the rate ot 371 bushels. "We are prepared to place your association In direct tomb with grow? ers of this grade of seed, or if you wish a more moderate priced com? modity, we can recommend reliable growers whose stock is of exception? al quality but not certified."

Protection For Newspaper Men Special Laws Safeguard Their Interests in Austria Vienna, Oct. 31.?By an act of the national assembly, th5 newspaper fra- J ternlty of Austria is given a special standing in its relation to employers. I Members of the news departments of papers always have enjoyed the cus? tomary legal protection as regards no lice of discharge, vacations and simi? lar matters but the ikw law sets them apart with unusual safeguards. The act covers editors, editorial writers, artists and reporters engag? ed on a fixed salary, but not persons to whom newspaper work is a second? ary employment. Under its provis? ions the employe must bo given a writ? ten agreement describing the nature I of the work for which he is employed, amount of salary, allowance lor spe? cial work and stipulations for repay? ment of expanses incurred in the discharge of his work. It also pro? vides for incr ased pay at intervals of live years up to the sixtieth year of age. O lit' months annual leave is guar? anteed with pay and after ten years j six weeks with pay. Three months I notice must be given of discharge and, after live years' continuous employ? ment, one month addition for each year, with a maximum notice of ono [ year. j The employer is compelled to pay j into a pension fund n minimum of 500 crowns a year for each employe. The details of the pension system are to b promulgated In the form of ordinances by the departments of education and Interior. The provisions as applying to the sale of a newspaper are interesting. A new proprietor may within one j month give notice to an editorial em? ploye that he will not continue his employment, whereupon the latter is entitled not only to the pay of the period as above provided for but, if he has served the former owner less than live years, also to one year's full pay and, if his service wap> for a period be? tween live and tel. years, to pay for a year and a half.

Should a paper alter the political policy the employe can claim the same prlvll lges as if the paper had been sold.
